Co-hosts Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode after last week's Players Championship triple header. The boys start the show by discussing Mike De Decker's prospects after the Belgian won his first PDC senior title in Milton Keynes last week, as well as take a look at the race to the World Grand Prix with 10 events left before the cut off. Alex and Burton also look ahead to the upcoming World Series events Down Under, picking out the PDC representatives who are most in need of a big run, as well as the Oceanic representatives their most looking forward to seeing in action over the next two weekends. Haupai Puha (16:38) calls in from New Zealand ahead of playing in the World Series this weekend. 'Hopes' looks back on the last 12 months, including his first full experience of playing at Ally Pally with a crowd, and making history as the first Kiwi to win a PDC tour card at Q-School earlier this year. Haupai reflects on his maiden season on the tour so far and his ambitions for the next two weekends playing on the big stage. Ben Francis (46:29) also joins us ahead of the World Series double header Down Under. The former co-host of the At The Oche darts radio show in New Zealand recaps the last year on the New Zealand darts scene, including Johnny Tata and Nicole Regnaud's Lakeside runs, Haupai Puha winning a tour card and New Zealand's close defeat to Germany in the PDC World Cup of Darts. Ben also tells us all about his new darts project coming soon!
